If your cat ate “sopa de ajo” (garlic soup), you should monitor them closely and contact your veterinarian if they show any symptoms of garlic toxicity.
Garlic is toxic to cats, and even a small amount can cause serious health problems. Symptoms of garlic toxicity in cats can include:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Lethargy
- Weakness
- Pale gums
- Rapid breathing
- Difficulty breathing
- Seizures
- Coma
If your cat shows any of these symptoms, you should seek veterinary attention immediately.
Treatment for garlic toxicity in cats typically involves supportive care, such as:
- IV fluids to prevent dehydration
- Anti-vomiting medication
- Anti-diarrhea medication
- Antibiotics to prevent infection
In severe cases, your cat may need to be hospitalized for treatment.
Prevention is the best way to protect your cat from garlic toxicity. Keep garlic and garlic-containing products out of reach of your cat. If you are unsure whether or not a food contains garlic, it is best to err on the side of caution and not feed it to your cat.
